I forget where I saw this exactly (I believe it was the NAGM, now to be
the Awakening sourcebook) but given that it is a straight rules extrap, I
think it valid. It noted that a spirit of air had a domain that extended
from terminator to terminator, and from the edge of the atmosphere down
to the earth. As long as neither the summoner nor the spirit must cross
a terminator, the spirit still owes services(Assuming that the spirit can
do so w/o leaving its domain, which is only reallly the case for a spirit
of air).
